It's wrong that this is how the law is set up.... Would be nice to get it fixed.

My understanding... just my opinion, not legal advice...

Is that in a place like Chilis... you can carry at the bar, since the overall business does not exceed 51% alcohol sales... If they did, they would need to post the Red 51% sign.

However... in a place like Bass Hall, where the alcohol concession is managed by a separate vendor, that vendor gets most of their sales from alcohol and the entire location would be off limits (Red 51%), even though Bass Hall gets their revenue from performances, not alcohol.

If the bar at Chillis was a separate license from the restaurant, you would likely be prohibited from carrying at the bar..

I"m going to disagree with you on that one. I can see where one would go that way of thinking, but this is one of those gray areas for sure. Bass Hall is NOT a TABC red location. Now, if you were to walk up to that bar and order a drink then yeah, a case could be made.. But overall, no.. you should not be restricted wholesale throughout the Bass Hall Preemies

I agree with you that it SHOULD be this way... But as of my last visit, about 3 years ago, Bass was a 51% location per the alcohol vendor license.
